Corona Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for an unusual day, starting with the fabulous inclusion of Zest onto The Inside Guide Hottest 30 new restaurants list; for allowing myself to take the afternoon off so that Annette Krueck and I could see the Bond ‘No Time to Die’ movie at the Labia Cinema, a two and a half hour long movie with lots of skop, skiet and donder as is expected of a Bond movie; for fetching my poppyseed rolls at Dinkel Bakery, and my German cold meat treats at Hartlief (they have the best droĂ«wors too); for a delicious Tasting Menu dinner paired with five wines at Utopia, it being full with a buzz, Continue reading →

Celebrating World Oceans Day today 8 June: ‘The Ocean: Life and Livelihoods’

 

World Oceans Day today (8 June) has a special significance for me, given my dedication to cleaning up litter in Camps Bay, and in organising a monthly Camps Bay Community Clean up. My goal is to prevent as much of the litter on the pavements, lawns, and walkways at the Camps Bay Beachfront from flying into the Atlantic Ocean.

Artist and sculptor Francois Knoetze’s   ‘This is Plastiglomerate’ is a well-timed artwork which has recently been erected on Camps Bay Beach to draw attention to the danger of plastics to our environment, World Environment Day having been celebrated last week.

The Labia Cinema celebrates World Oceans Day with a screening of ‘My Octopus Teacher’ today.

World Oceans Day is celebrated in South Africa too, and forms part of June being Environment Month.
